I was reading an article on the Steelers' coaching search in the Post-Gazette and noticed they're still running a deal to get a 6-month subscription for $6 (see below). Thing is, they've announced they'll cease publishing on May 3, which is only 2 1/2 months away. 😂

The Athletic asked subscribers to make predictions for tonight's college football championship game and to explain our reasoning. Mine was one of the ones they printed. Let's see if Indiana can make me look good or look like a fool. 😂

If you Google Curt CIgnetti, you'll see that he just wins. But not always. As a quarterback at Morgantown High in 1977, he lost this game to my own high school. I was a sophomore in college, but was there. A few of the guys mentioned were good friends (2 are sadly no longer with us).

That was an unexpected January surprise. Bill Skarsgard was excellent as the hostage taker. Loved Colman Domingo as the DJ. Cary Elwes looked like frickin Serpico. Just really well done.

Now seated in theater 2 at Cinemark for the 10:35 showing of Dead Man's Wire. By all accounts it's pretty good. We'll see. Catch y'all later.

The late, great Warren Zevon released his third studio album, Excitable Boy, 48 years ago today (Jan. 18, 1978). The tracks included "Werewolves of London," "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner," "Send Lawyers, Guns and Money," and the title song.

Back in 2019 Danny Boyle directed Yesterday, a cute little film about a struggling singer-songwriter who is hit by a bus during a worldwide blackout and wakes up to find he is the only person who remembers The Beatles. Just don't think about it too much.😂

As some of you may know, my favorite TV western growing up was The Virginian (still is). Four years before that groundbreaking series hit the airwaves in 1962, an anthology series called Decision aired an early unsold pilot also starring James Drury. 1/2 ⬇️

Alright, Piniero trying to make a Premier League tackle on Shaheed to stop that touchdown was hilarious. 😂

Alright, alright, alright. Binged the whole thing. Thoroughly enjoyed that. That ending certainly set up an interesting season 2.

I started watching Ponies, a Cold War spy thriller set in the 1970s, on Peacock. I'm through 3 episodes and really digging it so far. I'm a Cold War kind of guy. Some great 70s music. I love Twila. She's just the sort of girl I'd have gotten myself mixed up with in those days. 😂

Lots of folks were outraged at the end of 28 Years Later when the Jimmy cult showed up quite obviously emulating the disgraced TV presenter who molested kids for decades. But it succeeded in bringing an uneasiness to these characters in people's minds.⬇️

In my entire life I have never enjoyed watching Manchester United win a game quite this much.

I was just scanning the audience reviews for Ponies on Rotten Tomatoes. Almost everyone loved it, but this guy took away 1.5 stars just because one of the songs didn't come out until 1978 (it's set in '77). Wait until he finds out that Elton John didn't tour The Soviet Union until 1979. 😂

Just finished episode 6. I think I'm going to finish it out tonight. Good series!

I enjoyed Bone Temple a lot more than I did the last one. Two fascinating plot threads: the relationship between Dr. Kelson and Samson, and Spike's experience with the Jimmy cult. Jack O'Connell was a bigger monster in Bone Temple than he was as a vampire in Sinners. 😂
